Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I'm going to be sharing my time with my colleague, MP Morrissey.
I'd like to start with Sean Strickland because I wanted to take this opportunity to thank your members for the hard and often dangerous work you do. You talked about an accident, I think in Toronto. A couple of months ago, there was a terrible construction accident in my riding of London West. Two workers were killed when the wall of an apartment building under construction collapsed. There also were others injured. It really underscored how important our workers are and how we often take them for granted.
Earlier, you mentioned apprenticeship training, and I wondered, in the discussion that we're having today, how the safety issue is impacted by EI benefits.
